Westwood Shopping Center Sketch Plan, 320170010 Willett Branch Greenway: Vision

To create an accessible, walkable trail, and an ecologically improved and naturalized stream corridor

Purpose:

  • Provide greatly needed pedestrian and

bicycle linkages across the plan area and between the two existing linear parks

  • Improve the ecological functioning of

Willett Branch, and thus Little Falls, the Potomac, and the Chesapeake Bay Features:

  • A hard surface trail loop offering users

an alternative, quieter trail experience and increased connections

  • A naturalized stream
  • Interpretive signage

M-NCPPC Montgomery County Parks & Planning Departments • montgomeryplanning.org • montgomeryparks.org

Westwood Shopping Center Sketch Plan, 320170010 Issues: 1) Stream Valley Buffer

  • The location of the SVB is established during the review and approval of the

NRI/FSD. Ideally, extents of the SVB are naturalized, planted and protected

  • Provisions in the Environmental Guidelines & Westbard Sector Plan to allow SVB

encroachments. Sector Plan Page 57, 75 & 101 of the Sector Plans states: “…at the time of regulatory review, stream buffer areas may be modified and/or reduced if necessary to achieve the balance...” Page 76 of the Sector Plan more clearly states: “Balance the goals … which is likely to necessitate modifications to stream buffer requirements on some properties.”
